Meet The Team

The Shannon Aero team is a diverse group of aviation and business professionals who are fully committed to the reducing the CO2e emissions produced by the aviation industry and to implementing programs that decarbonize aircraft in ways that advance the UNFCCC and ICAO CORSIA scheme goals of reaching net-zero aircraft greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

EXPERIENCE COUNTS !

MD82s of Alitalia purchased including the last one owned by Irlandia.
Glenn Pickard proves that experience counts.
Glenn is an experienced manager in the regional airline business. He began his career flying community support services in Northern Canada where lakes, rivers & ice served as runways. He set up and managed regional airlines in North America, the Caribbean, Austraila and Asia.

Patrick Harris Team Leader / Chief Trader.

Over $2 Billion in aircraft transactions since 1980, Pat is the tough negotiator you need on your side!
Following graduation from the University of Limerick, NIHE, Patrick began his aviation career with GPA in Shannon, Ireland. Responsable for market R & D, and customer development in Africa/Middle East, then underserved by commercial jet aircraft. His R&D project was responsible for developing the first computerized life-cycle pricing model for commercial aircraft. His aircraft asset management company was first to offer asset risk services to banks in the EU, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and North America. He drives "first-to-market" aircraft products, services and life-cycle decarbonization methods that air transportation businesses can use to meet Paris Agreement and the ICAO CORSIA scheme Net-Zero emissions comittments, set for 2030, 2035 and 2050. This B737-300 was purchased along with a series of other aircraft, engines & equipment on which internally funded, extensive life-cycle & emissions research & development was conducted. For the last five years the Shannon Aero partners have developed methodolgy to decarbonize aircraft worldwide. The decarbonization business was formally launched in 2020

Gerald Hock

Certified Airline Transport Pilot Director of Operations: As the first employee, I produced a road map for taking one aircraft, a charter certificate and evolving the company into the largest commuter airline in the Southeastern United States. As our company grew, we were profitable, successful and employed over 100 people. The company eventually went public.

First to offer JET PROP service to the the BAHAMAS Out Islands.

What our clients say

"Best practices with strong business acumen & ethics!"
Invitation: The effort to prevent permantent damage to the air transport market is a worldwide effort. For five years, we have engaged with airlines, airports, MRO's banks, lessors, suppliers & vendors to define what is being done, what can be done, to solve the aircraft CO2e emissions problem. We engage with researchers, aircraft designers, materials technologists and research institutions, & share our knowlege with our clients.
"First priorities safety, efficiency & accountability, hallmarks of good mgmt."
Applied research: A major objective for Shannon Aero is to use forward thinking, which has an element of risk. We will approach educational and research institutions to make aircraft available as test platforms for SAF fuel as a replacement for fossil fuel and for testing of super alloys, earth metals, carbon fiber reuse and using additive manufacturing tooling.
"Creative problem solvers. Shannon Aero team helped build our carbon credits budget. "
Media, "Civil Society Groups" and Communities: The link will take you to the first project supported by Shannon Aero. The video speaks for itself. We are available to the Media for aviation matters, the pandemic, climate change & "Black Swan" events. And the implications for current and future progress of the air transport market.

You operate the airlines, the airports & MROs; we will manage the decarbonisation transition for you !

Announcement: Shannon Aero will have a business unit in Shanghai as of December 2021.

We learn by asking questions & we like to share!
Aircraft form beautiful images in the sky but we must remember they leave a trail of GHG gasses behind them !

Surge in demand.

Companies and Organizations reported a surge in private and public entities signing onto climate action commitments in 2020. This occurred after the UN IPCC (the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) declared 2020 to 2029 as the final window to counteract catastrophic climate damage, Having now declared a commitment, the challenge for them is to successfully deliver on their GHG reduction commitments.
Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHGP) provides standards, guidance, tools and training for business and government to measure and manage climate-warming emissions.The GHGP arose when WRI and WBCSD recognized the need for an international standard for corporate GHG accounting and reporting in the late 1990s. Together with large corporate partners such as BP and General Motors, in 1998 WRI published a report called, “Safe Climate, Sound Business.” It identified an action agenda to address climate change that included the need for standardized measurement of GHG emissions.
Similar initiatives were being discussed at WBCSD. In late 1997, WRI senior managers met with WBCSD officials and an agreement was reached to launch an NGO-business partnership to address standardized methods for GHG accounting. WRI and WBCSD convened a core steering group comprised of members from environmental groups (such as WWF, Pew Center on Global Climate Change, The Energy Research Institute) and industry (such as Norsk Hydro, Tokyo Electric, Shell) to guide the multi-stakeholder standard development process.
The first edition of the Corporate Standard, published in 2001, has been updated with additional guidance that clarifies how companies can measure emissions from electricity and other energy purchases, and account for emissions from throughout their value chains. GHG Protocol also developed a suite of calculation tools to assist companies in calculating their greenhouse gas emissions and measure the benefits of climate change mitigation projects.
The Paris Agreement, adopted within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC) in December 2015, commits participating all countries to limit global temperature rise, adapt to changes already occurring, and regularly increase efforts over time. GHG Protocol is developing standards, tools and online training that helps countries and cities track progress towards their climate goals.





GHG Protocol supplies the world's most widely used greenhouse gas accounting standards. The standards below are designed to provide a framework for businesses, governments, and other entities to measure and report their greenhouse gas emissions in ways that support their missions and goals. In 2016, 92% of Fortune 500 companies responding to the CDP used GHG Protocol directly or indirectly through a program based on GHG Protocol. It provides the accounting platform for virtually every corporate GHG reporting program in the world. Product StandardThe Product Standard can be used to understand the full life cycle emissions of a product
 and focus efforts on the greatest GHG reduction opportunities. This is the first step towards more sustainable products.
The popularity of GHG Protocol standards is due in part to the widespread stakeholder outreach and consultation that is facilitated by WRI and WBCSD during each standard development project.The Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol. The global standard for GHG emissions accounting, the quantification and disclosure of carbon emissions from scopes 1 and 2 are required, while the inclusion of scope 3 depends on the specific commitment. Each covers a different scope of emissions:• Scope 1: Direct operational emissions including onsite combustion and mobile sources• Scope 2: Indirect operational emissions from purchased electricity and steam• Scope 3: Emissions from upstream and downstream activities that the organization indirectly impacts in its value chain, which are typically the majority of an organization’s total emissions
Each carbon commitment’s target language also varies from net zero to zero or absolute zero. Net zero indicates carbon neutrality by the target date, whereas zero or absolute zero refers to eliminating all emissions, scopes 1, 2, and 3, without the use of carbon offsets.
Purchasing carbon offsets or credits is a common supplemental strategy to the overall carbon reduction plan, and there are best practices to ensure they have the most impact. When accompanied by longer-term carbon removal credits such as renewable energy credits (RECs), virtual power purchase agreements (VPPA), or biogenic removal projects, offsets are a strong component of decarbonization strategy.
